TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a freshness-preserving agent for fruits and vegetables that have poor shelf life. BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, fruits and vegetables such as grapes such as Muscat and Kyoho grapes, yellow fever bananas, ripe tomatoes, and ripe peaches have extremely poor shelf life and spoil quickly. Even if these fruits and vegetables were stored at appropriate storage temperatures, the storage period was limited to 3 to 14 days. This has caused major problems in preserving, distributing, and selling fruits and vegetables. To solve this problem, unripe fruits and vegetables have generally been preserved and distributed as they are, but in this state, they do not have sufficient flavor and it is impossible to provide consumers with the original taste of fruits and vegetables. It was hot. The reason why fruits and vegetables have a low shelf life is that even after they are harvested, they constantly undergo respiration and water evaporation, which leads to further ripening, resulting in discoloration, softening, rotting, etc. . In addition, as the respiration process progresses, ethylene gas, alcohol gas, etc. are generated, and due to the generation of these gases, ripening progresses even more quickly. Furthermore, the evaporation of water causes fruits and vegetables to lose weight, shrink, and become less firm, resulting in a loss of freshness. The purpose of the present invention is to suppress the overripening of fruits and vegetables as much as possible, taking into consideration the various effects of these fruits and vegetables,
Moreover, the objective is to obtain a safe freshness-preserving agent for fruits and vegetables. The present invention will be explained in detail below. The present invention mainly consists of an adsorbent consisting of a single substance or a mixture of activated carbon, bentonite, artificial zeolite, etc., and alkaline substances such as ferrous sulfate, heptahydrate, calcium hydroxide, water, sodium sulfite, etc. A freshness-preserving agent for fruits and vegetables containing at least one deliquescent substance such as sulfite and magnesium chloride. Depending on the purpose, an alkali carbonate such as sodium bicarbonate that generates carbon dioxide gas is added to this agent to keep fruits and vegetables fresh. The specific components of the present invention are shown below.

Since the freshness preserving agent of the present invention is composed of the above-mentioned components, it has the following effects. First, an adsorbent made of activated carbon, bentonite, artificial zeolite, etc. adsorbs and removes low-molecular substances such as ethylene and alcohol that are gradually generated by fruits and vegetables, thereby suppressing overripening. Alkaline substances such as ferrous sulfate heptahydrate and calcium hydroxide absorb surrounding oxygen through water and release water liberated by the reaction, suppressing the respiration of fruits and vegetables. . Moreover, due to the water liberated by this reaction,
To maintain the freshness of fruits and vegetables by reducing the evaporation effect of water in fruits and vegetables. This oxygen absorption reaction requires water, but if the surrounding area is sufficiently moist and sulfites such as sodium sulfite and deliquescent substances such as magnesium chloride are present, water may not be added. However, the oxygen absorption effect is sufficiently performed.
Furthermore, if it contains an alkali carbonate compound such as sodium hydrogen carbonate, carbon dioxide gas is generated by the reaction,
It can suppress the respiration of fruits and vegetables and also suppress the growth of mold. If the freshness preserving agent of the present invention is used in this way,
It suppresses the respiration and water evaporation effects that affect the quality of fruits and vegetables, and can exhibit effects completely unseen with conventional freshness-preserving agents. In addition, when using the freshness-preserving agent of the present invention, in wrapping and packing, a plastic film such as polyethylene film is placed inside the storage container and the fruits and vegetables and the freshness-preserving agent are wrapped together, or the container is covered with a lid and then the edges are wrapped. It is even more effective to seal it with plastic tape. Furthermore, a film container suitable for packaging or packaging the freshness preservation agent of the present invention and fruits and vegetables together has an oxygen permeability of 5000 to 10000 cm 3 /m 2 24 hrs atm and a carbon dioxide permeability of about 10000 cm 3 /m 2 24 hrs. ATM can effectively utilize the freshness preserving agent. Next, examples of the present invention will be described.

30 parts by weight Coconut shell activated carbon 20 〃 Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 30 〃 Calcium hydroxide 30 〃 Water 1 〃 About 10 g of this freshness preserving agent was mixed with 50 g/m 2 Japanese paper and open-pore polyethylene (40 μ thick). After filling the bag and sealing it, soak the washi paper with about 0.5g of water. In this way, the freshness preservation agent is placed in a tomato storage cardboard box (310 x 450 x 90 mm) with a 50 μ thick polyethylene film (400 x 600 mm), 15 tomatoes are lined up, and the polyethylene film is wrapped together.
The lid was put on and the end was taped to seal it. The tomatoes were selected with green around the stems. Make 100 samples of this and refrigerate at 5℃.
Fifty pieces of each were stored at room temperature between 25°C and 30°C, and changes over time were observed. At the same time, a sample containing no freshness preservation agent and an oxygen absorber (A) that does not release crystal water are packaged in the same manner as above, and a sample is prepared in the same manner, stored under the same conditions, and changes over time are observed. did. <Oxygen scavenger A> Molecular Sieve 4A (manufactured by Showa Yunotx Co., Ltd.)

[Table] As shown, the products using the freshness-preserving agent of the present invention were able to maintain their green color even at room temperature, but the products without the freshness-preserving agent changed from yellow to red when refrigerated. Moreover, at room temperature, most of the other substances turned red. *In addition to discoloration, there was also some wilting. Example Preservation test of Kyoho grapes Freshness preservation agent Molekyura Sieve 4A (manufactured by Showa Yunotsu Co., Ltd.)
50 parts by weight Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 30 Calcium hydroxide 30 Sodium sulfite heptahydrate 10 Approximately 10 g of the above freshness preserving agent was packed into a packaging bag made of a laminate in the same manner as in Example 1. Seal. This freshness preservation agent is stored in Kyoho cardboard box (120 x
160 x 90 mm) with a 40 μ thick polyethylene film (250 x 300 mm), put it in together with 2 bunches of Kyoho grapes (approximately 1 kg), and seal it as in the example. No tape was attached at this time. The same test as in the example was conducted on the items stored in this cardboard box. At the same time, the same tests were conducted on cardboard packaging without a freshness-preserving agent and packaging with oxygen absorber A as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2.
